The four hundred and sixtieth chapters of the city gate
Tianjingguan is located in the southwest of Taihang Mountain, and Zezhou is thirty or forty miles away to the north.
What Ling Tianyun didn't expect was that he had overlooked an important thing, that is, he had ignored the opening of the well. He thought he had arrived in Zezhou after leaving the Taihang Mountains, but what he didn't expect was that he had rushed there at night.
But it was Tianjing Pass. The endless Taihang Mountains couldn't be walked out in an hour or two by galloping overnight. He had only reached the central hinterland of the Taihang Mountains.
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but secretly groan in his heart. He had been on his way with great difficulty, but still did not get out of the Taihang Mountains, but came to Tianjing Pass. Tianjing Pass is the fortress for the north-south pass, and it is also the only path to the north in the Taihang Mountains.
If you want to reach Zezhou, you must pass through this patio.
At this time, the coalition forces of the Northern Han Dynasty and the Khitan had already captured Tianjing Pass and blocked the road south to Zezhou, in order to turn Zezhou into an isolated city and become helpless. For all this,
, but Ling Tianyun had no idea that he and Ning Bugui had galloped and arrived at the city gate of Jingguan that day.
It was late at night and quiet. The courtyard occupied by the Northern Han Dynasty Allied Forces was shut in a dark silence. At this time, the gate of the town had already been closed tightly. Even if anyone shouted, they could not stop it.
The city gate was opened. Looking at the steep pass and the heavily guarded soldiers guarding the city gate, Ling Tianyun couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
To reach Zezhou, it seemed that we had to pass through the Tianjing Pass. Ling Tianyun and Ning Bugui rode their thin horses and stopped not far from the pass.
In this pitch-black night, the guards on top of the city did not see the face of the incoming man clearly, and did not speak out any questions.
The city gate could not be opened, but it was impossible to enter this dangerous city, which made Ling Tianyun extremely frustrated. He cast his gaze on Ning Bugui, who had an indifferent face, and wanted to ask the other party what he could do. When his
The moment his eyes fell on Ning Bugui's face, he found that Ning Bugui's eyes were extremely solemn, and a frightening light emitted from his eyes that made people palpitate.
Along the way, he had gotten to know Ning Bugui quite well, and he knew that this ordinary man would not deliberately reveal his state of mind. At this time, Ning Bugui's face became extremely solemn, and even his
There was a trace of anger that could not be wiped off on his face. It was obvious that this killer, whose level of martial arts was much higher than that of Ling Tianyun, had already seen some clues on the top of the city.
Following Ning Bugui's gaze, Ling Tianyun's heart aroused overwhelming anger. If his reason hadn't been there, he would have immediately pulled out the sword in the sheath. At the same time, he was also on the top of the city.
I felt a strange aura circulating, a strange and blood-like aura.
There was a heavy pressure on Ling Tianyun's chest, causing Ling Tianyun's chest to rise and fall for a while. He held the scabbard tightly with his left hand, and pinched the five fingers of his right hand tightly in his palm. The nails of his right hand almost dug into his palm.
Among them, it was cut hard by nails.
A human head suddenly hung on the top of the city, and dripping blood flowed from the man's head and neck. Under the closed eyes was a face he was familiar with. That man was none other than a brother from the Flying Bird Camp.
They were also the first group of members that Zhao Kuangyin handed over Feiqiao Camp to him.
Ye Yinfeng's misfortune was still pressing in his heart, leaving him nowhere to vent the resentment in his chest. But at this moment, he saw his brothers from Feiqiao camp sacrificed here. How could this not make him uncontrollably angry?
, even the surging water of the Yellow River could not extinguish the anger in his heart.
Ling Tianyun clamped his legs together and made a gesture to rush under the city gate. But at this moment, a strong hand pulled him back. He turned his head and looked, but it was Ning Bugui's calm eyes.
At that time, Ning Bugui had already returned to normal, and there was no longer any strange expression on his face.
"Why?" Ling Tianyun asked hoarsely. He could already see the anger in the killer's eyes, but he didn't understand why the other party stopped him.
"Don't be reckless. Tianjing Pass must have been captured by the Northern Han coalition forces. They did this firstly to demonstrate to the great Zhou Dynasty, and secondly to attract you to show up so that they can all be captured in one fell swoop." Ning Bugui explained calmly and signaled.
Ling Tianyun calmed down to avoid doing anything impulsive.
"Did the brothers of the Flying Bird Camp die in vain? Did their blood flow in vain? As their commander, I could only watch my brothers' heads hanging high and being subjected to the most cruel and inhumane treatment.
If this is the case, what qualifications do I have to be their commander, and how can I, Ling Tianyun, feel at ease in my heart. I, Ling Tianyun, have already lost a brother, but I still want to let his body die in a bad way, which I can't do.
.”
Ling Tianyun's eyes glowed with red light, and the veins on his forehead popped out. He roared low and hoarse. He had tried his best to suppress the anger in his chest, and the low voice
Only the two of them could hear it, but the faint ancient road in front of the city had an even more eerie atmosphere.
They were still several feet away from the city. In the thick darkness, the guards on the city couldn't see their faces clearly, and they didn't have any suspicion. There was no movement above the city gate.
, as if their arrival was just an ordinary and trivial thing.
"Don't you think it's too quiet on top of the city? Don't you think it's strange that the guards on the city wall didn't even ask a question? They must be waiting for us to come forward. Someone must be watching in the dark.
All of this, once we show up under the city gate, we will be greeted by a storm of attacks." Ning Bugui analyzed quietly.
"No, I must take off that head, otherwise I will feel uneasy." Ling Tianyun suddenly raised his head, his eyes shone with determination, and he said decisively.
"If you insist on taking risks, I won't stop you, but don't expect me to help. After all, I still come with a mission, I hope you can understand." Ning Bugui knew that he could not dissuade you, so he could only say helplessly.
Ling Tianyun didn't pay attention to this at all. It didn't matter to him whether he would rather help him or not. In his eyes, he only had the human head hanging high on the top of the city. He must find every way to take it down, so that he can be worthy of it.
My brother is worthy of Feiqiaoying, worthy of Zhao Kuangyin and Chai Rong.
He gently turned over and dismounted. Although 70% to 80% of his injuries had recovered, the sword energy of Yelu Wuji remaining in his body had not been completely cleared away, and there would still be some faint pain in his body from time to time. In this way,
It has been completely ignored by him. He knows that he can still do this even if he is crawling on the ground now.
He did not draw out the sword in his hand, but threw his body as far as possible into the dark night, and slowly walked towards the city gate.
He pressed his body tightly under the shadow of the trees beside the official road. Every step he took, he carefully looked around. When he found that there was nothing strange, he went to the next place.
Na Ning Bugui led the other skinny horse away, and the sound of Dede's hoofbeats was particularly harsh in the quiet night.
Although Ning Bugui expressed his position, doing so was tantamount to helping Ling Tianyun, so that the guards above the city thought they had left. The horse's hooves, which were not urgent but loud, slowly walked away, and soon
He quickly disappeared into the pitch-black night.
Ling Tianyun crouched and gradually moved closer to the city wall. He was getting closer and closer to the city head. But the sword in his hand was held tighter. The calmer the atmosphere seemed, the more murderous intent was hidden in it.
Faintly, Ling Tianyun felt several awe-inspiring auras hidden in the darkness. He could only slow down his pace and slowly search for the hiding places of those awe-inspiring auras.
It would be great if Ye Yinfeng was here. His exquisite skills could easily find the whereabouts of his opponent. However, Ye Yinfeng was also in danger at this time, which made him feel confused and annoyed. He forced to abandon it.
With the turbulent thoughts in his heart, his eyes were flashing like wisps of light, and the energy in his body was circulating even more.
He successfully arrived under the city wall, only one or two feet away from the city gate. He pressed his body against the city wall as much as possible. His black clothes just blended into the dark night.
There was not even a shadow in the middle, and he slowly moved towards the city gate.
There was silence all around. He hid under the corner of the city wall, looked up at the bloody head hanging high, and couldn't help but feel an unconcealable burning feeling in his heart. Above the city wall, there was an orderly sound of footsteps.
, it is the sound of the soldiers guarding the city walking back and forth, and the footsteps are steady and powerful, this Northern Han army guarding the city must be no ordinary army.
The hanging human head was also four feet high from the ground. Ling Tianyun jumped up with his own internal strength but could not reach that height. This made him feel a little frustrated. He could only jump up to four feet high.
But he couldn't guarantee that he could pick off the head if he stretched out his head.
"Plop, tap", drops of blood fell from the sky, landing right in front of Ling Tianyun's eyes. Under the city gate, there was a thick trail of blood on the ground, and there was also a pungent smell of blood.
Ling Tianyun's heart twisted, as if the blood that fell down was flowing from his body.
While Ling Tianyun was thinking about how to take off the head, he looked around from time to time. He calculated the height he could reach. But he didn't come up with any good method. He held the sword in his hand tightly, and his
His brows were furrowed.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and the Xingze sword in his hand cut through iron like mud. He thought of the beauty of this sword.
He looked around vigilantly. It was dark all around. The top of Tianjingguan City was shrouded in the inky night. There was still nothing abnormal around him, and there were still steady and powerful footsteps on the city wall. Although he
He felt the awe-inspiring aura hidden in the dark, but he still didn't hesitate.
Ling Tianyun bent slightly and rubbed his legs hard on the ground. He whizzed up to the city gate like an arrow that shot straight into the sky. After all the breath in his chest was exhausted, he ascended.
The height had reached the limit. However, seeing that he remained calm in the face of danger, he quickly drew out his sword and thrust it hard into the city wall before his body fell.
There was a slightly muffled sound, and the sword was already inserted deeply into the city wall. Using the sword as a fulcrum, he once again took advantage of the situation, took a breath, and rushed upward again.
He casually pulled out the sword, and Ling Tianyun's body had reached the height he had planned. Ling Tianyun, who was in the air, put the sword back into its sheath. After completing all these actions, the bloody human head was within reach of his hand.
.An unconcealable excitement spread in his chest.
He reached out and grabbed the head, but at this moment, a vision suddenly occurred.
With a "hiss" sound, a sharp sound piercing the air was particularly harsh in the night, and the sharp sound piercing the air carried a whistling momentum and shot towards Ling Tianyun in the air. It was awe-inspiring and terrifying.
A breath like that filled the air in that sharp sound, it was an iron arrow blending into the dark night.
